Answer:
c. population
Explanation:
A localised group of organisms that belong to the same species is called Population. This can be a local population if the organisms stay at a particular place or a metapopulation if the organisms tend to move from one geographical location to another.
The answer is <span>Meiosis I.</span>
<span>Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome
number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists
of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two
haploid cells. Meiosis
II is analogous to mitosis, so each of these two haploid cells will in meiosis
II produce two haploid cells. In total, meiosis results in four haploid cells.</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>Therefore, the production of two haploid daughter cells is in meiosis I.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
You got it right! It is in fact A.
Answer:
Bridgham et al. (2006) showed that the interaction between a steroid hormone (aldosterone-M) and its receptor (mineralocorticoid) evolved by Darwinian gradualism. In this work, the authors demonstrated a primitive affinity between the hormone and its receptor that was initially present in chemically similar but more ancient ligands. This result has implications in understanding the association between gene duplication and the evolution of hormone signaling pathways. For example, in invertebrates, this work reinforces the importance of gene duplication in the existing interaction between paralogous glucocorticoid receptors and their receptor mineralocorticoid genes that were derived from duplication (Thornton 2001).
